Cyanide Studio and Focus Home Interactive have released the first official screenshots from Styx: Master of Shadows.

Styx, the game's playable character, is a 200-year-old Goblin. He's the *original* Goblin, in fact. He's a master of stealth, theft and murder.

Accompany Styx as he battles his way to the top of the miles-high, vertiginous and heavily-fortified Tower of Akenash. Along the way, complete missions having various objectives and gradually reconstruct a puzzle that unlocks the mystery of Styx's origins.

The game's levels are open and can be completed in more than one way. You must remain undetected at all times, however, as guards, soldiers and other Tower-protectors will adapt their behavior dynamically in response to your actions.

Styx: Master of Shadows , which will feature the game mechanics of an RPG, will be released sometime in 2014.
